"An extremely fine acoustic album, one of Martyn's finest with songs that stay with you. Smooth and lovely vocals and production, tinges of jazz at the end that would unfold more in layter albums."  Reply

"Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is ..."  [+]  Reply

"The presidential election of Barak Obama was meant to have heralded in a new era for America, and Bruce Springsteen was ready to celebrate with his new album. Working on a dream, came in lightning quick time, just 15 months after springsteen's last record, magic. Working, is lyrically everything ..."  [+]  Reply

"On the group's sixth album Ten Years After are trying to renew their sound and approach - primarily with spacey intros and outros and a more widespread use of the acoustic guitar. Generally, though, it is the familiar formula: a little bit of blues, a little bit rock 'n roll and a couple ballads...."  [+]  Reply

"I love the Funky / Soul sound from this album with catchy dance tunes. The instrumentation is authentic and at the time of its release I was just starting to visit night clubs. I can play it today and have no problem reciting the lyrics."  Reply

""Heaven Tonight" is Cheap Trick's 3rd album. "Surrender" kicks off with four minutes of nonstop hooks and ironic lyrics. This is followed by a great arena-ready punch that just keep coming, summing up the strengths of their first two albums.From the onslaught this is a series of superbly crafted ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think this is The Pretty Things best album, alongside "SF Sorrow". This is a concept album of sorts, it's the anti-Sgt. Pepper. It has a dark pessimistic mood that incapsulates the late sixties decadence of inner cities."  Reply
